The rate of growth of the French Canadian population and the lack of good workable land outside the narrow St. Lawrence and Richelieu valleys contributed to the rush to low-paying jobs in urban industries and to the growth of slums, particularly in Montreal.

 Journal of Canadian Studies: City campaigns on the cusp and the Edmonton mayoralty election of 1992
Approaching the Campaign A full year before the election Mayor Reimer used a rally by her campaign workers to attack her opponents on council ideologically: "The dinosaurs have come out of the closet to attack not just me, but the vision of Edmonton for which you voted two years ago....
The election could be much closer than people expect, especially because other candidates will have big-money backers and a lot to spend." Smith's fundraisers had begun by silently phoning the Edmonton region provincial PC list of donors, and the subsequent party leadership campaign quickly became a serious financial barrier.
Election expenses are as reported by the Edmonton Journal and Edmonton Sun, 10 January 1995.

 Quebec Premier Maurice Duplessis
History remembers him as anti-union and anti-communist, as someone who had little time for civil liberties, who created a thriving political patronage system and was so close to the clergy he could boast he had the bishops eating out of his hand.
The situation has only grown worse with the controversy surrounding the Duplessis Orphans, the group of children born out of wedlock or into poverty during the period Duplessis was premier, and who were institutionalized and often abused after being falsely labeled mentally deficient.
That story is one of the first themes that comes to mind to the youthful crowd hanging out at the chic Cafe Morgane on the city's main street, a place where the music is hip, latte is the beverage of choice and Duplessis is a long-forgotten image in a high-school history book.

In the election of 1952, however, the Liberal Party managed to increase its representation in parliament from eight to twenty-three seats, and this erosion of Union Nationale support was enough to convince the party that some reform was urgently needed.
As Quebec was a predominantly Catholic and French province in a predominantly Protestant and English country, it was inviting and easy for Duplessis to take the position of the protector of his people's language, traditional values, and religion.
